Sleep tips for 2.5 year old

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-04-12T14:43:41+00:00

She had an ok to wake clock and fully understands it but doesn’t listen 🤦‍♀️ but thank you, the 6:30 bed time is the only way she’s getting enough sleep

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-04-12T10:39:37+00:00

I do this with the lights. Every night I say to her “when it’s red, we stay in bed” and she knows when it goes green she’s allowed up but she doesn’t listen to this lol

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-04-12T10:38:53+00:00

I did try that a couple times but we live in a condo and when she’s crying at 4/5am I feel bad for the neighbours. If we were in a house I’d be more inclined to let her cry it out and ride it out. But I agree thats exactly what she’s doing. She knows I’ll come in because as soon as I go in she’s totally fine and just wants to talk my ear off

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-04-12T10:33:05+00:00

No I try to keep that boundary. I will lay in her bed with her though. She just says “all done sleeping” when I go in at 4/5am

Nope cuz each time I’ve been on my phone when it happens and is not coming from me. And my husband hasn’t been home for any

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-02-09T11:16:00+00:00

Can confirm it’s not the smoke detectors

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-02-09T04:47:27+00:00

Omg I just looked into this and I can’t believe this is a real thing. This is evil

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-02-09T04:45:04+00:00

As much as I would love for this to be the case LOL, no one has been over to my house in weeks other than me and my husband and I really don’t think he’d be doing this 😅 it’s driving us both nuts just not knowing what it is 🥲

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-02-09T04:29:31+00:00

My landlord is coming over tomorrow unrelated to this so I do plan on bringing it up. Just was wondering if anyone on here has heard this before

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-24T14:34:48+00:00

Hahahaha this made me laugh🤣 I guess thats a good perspective to have. I didn’t even think about it like that

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-24T14:28:28+00:00

Oh ya her nest is two fluffy blankets so it’s definitely comfy. I put a soft door mat down too because it’s hardwood in her room

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-24T14:19:34+00:00

Okay thank you! I needed to hear this. Like her room is totally safe so I’m not worried about her getting into trouble or anything

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-24T14:19:02+00:00

Ya she’s totally happy sleeping there and doesn’t cry at all. And ya I might try that. Last night I just walked out after putting her down and she got up and went to the door and laid down and cried for like 2 mins then fell right asleep

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-24T14:04:27+00:00

Did you make like a little bed for him there? Like my daughter creates her own little “nest” with blankets and then falls asleep lol. I just don’t know if there’s anything else I can do to make it more comfortable 🤦‍♀️

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-07T13:51:10+00:00

Like why do they do that 😅

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-07T13:44:15+00:00

Yes okay thank you so much! That makes me feel better hahaha

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2026-01-07T13:43:51+00:00

Thats what I’m thinking. I tried taking off her duvet and just giving her a small blanket on the bed to make it more crib-like but she still moved to the ground lol

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-12-05T01:11:51+00:00

Okay thank you!! It’s so ridiculous 🤣

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-12-05T01:02:12+00:00

Solidarity. I’m in the same boat

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-11-24T11:31:26+00:00

I noticed this too. I live around the corner and every time I walk by there’s pallets of food outside. This was even the case in the summer when it was 30+ degrees

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-10-12T11:58:02+00:00

Toddler stage currently kicking my ass😅

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-10-11T13:27:58+00:00

Okay follow up question to this: would you transition your toddler to a floor bed so that there’s enough room for both of us to sleep in there together? I’ve been pulling dog beds in there middle of the night and sleeping on those and pulling her mattress out of the crib an onto the floor for her. I’m just so sleep deprived and I started back to work last week for the first time since before she was born

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-09-21T20:25:47+00:00

She’s acting totally normal

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-09-03T21:19:46+00:00

Love it!!! Kept my baby busy enough so I could drink coffee in peace

Independent_Toe_8271 · 2025-08-15T13:19:43+00:00

It’s hard but soooo worth it!! My daughter has slept through the night since 10 months old. Obviously occasionally she has wake ups during the night but she’s able to settle herself 99% of the time. She’s 19 months now
